Why are all the cinematics out of sync and choppy as hell? The rest of
the game is smooth as can be at some pretty high settings for a barely beating recommended req computer. I remember
when starting the game the first few times there was some popup
regarding ffdshow or something like that, told it to turn it on and
stop bothering me. Now I can't find a way to turn that off if this is
what's causing the cinematics to desync and get choppy. The video feed
itself chops up, freezes, and winds up lagging way behind the auto
track.

Bumping this, I'd love to find out wth is the issue here.


 
I've also found out that if the cinematics end up going smoothly, the game doesn't.  seems to happen if i load up other games prior to  playing DA.  I'm using Steam and bought the deluxe edition through steam if this is signifcant at all.

Strangely I've just developed a similar problem. The game has run perfectly fine since buying it. However I've just started a new character and there's is now a massive pause when initiating dialogue, cut scenes stutter terribly and the loading caption is even popping up between camera angles!

I haven't touched a thing on the computer and auto updates are switched off. I can't understand why this has suddenly started.

Same problem. Still trying to find a solution.

I had the problem of my video running 3-4x faster than the audio, The problem was my processors. The game will run too fast at times if I don't minimize it after start-up and hit ctrl+alt+del to go into the device manager. Find Dragon Age in the processes and right click it and hit Set Affinity. I then have the option to uncheck Cpu0 and Cpu1, I unchecked Cpu1 and leave Cpu0 checked. That makes it so the game only uses one processor and suddenly the game is stable and runs just fine. It also fixed some of my crashing errors. I actually have to do the same thing to Knight of the Old Republic on Steam.

I guess google for how to clean up codec problems. You mentioned ffdshow so it's almost certainly a codec issue.

I got the same problem. A paus at the start, then out of sync for a while before the sound catches up

[Demodus]

Same problem. Choppy movies, huge pauses in dialogue and glacier-speed loading times. Yay.

[Gorath Alpha]

You have other problems to deal with; like heat.

Well the only pauses i've encountered was when you talk to Sten. Everytime i start a conversation with him, it has a huge pause. But anyway, to your problem, but you should turn some settings down. I know that the game itself may run perfect (mine does), but in some cutscenes, it can become choppy, and i believe the problem is that the cutscenes use a whole lot more 'depth of field' affects than when you are just playing the game, and that effect can really hurt performance. Maybe you can disable depth of field (might be under a different definition in the game) in the game options in or out of the game.

When the cutscenes start borking out it's a good sign that you need to restart the game engine...it's one of the many lovely side effects of the "memory leak/inefficient resource usage" of the game engine.

[Demodus]

how about when the intro EA cutscene freezes for 5 seconds halfway? that's gotta be some wicked memory leak. it can't be right that I need a 2000 dollar rig to play this game!

[Pretorian]

Yeah... those intro movies really do take a while to skip... Kind of annoying when you just want to get in and play.

[Alasaari]

You can disable the intro movies from the Dragon Age configuration utility.
Select Video tab and tick Disable Intro Movies.

Gah! I was so sure i checked that. Ah well, on a second check i see it. Cheers for the info.

I have the same problem. I've chatted with technical support twice, send them my dxdiag, showing that I have all the updated drivers, and they can't figure out whats wrong. They told me to run the game in XP compatibility mode, but that doesn't fix anything. Sound lags video by 4 seconds.



I have a 1GB video card, quad core processor, 8 GB of DDR3.

[The_AV8R]

I just tried the suggestion to play with processor speed, and this has had quite an effect in resolving the problem. I was initially running overclocked.



Now, there seems to be a slight lead (1/2 sec) when minimally OC'ed (1%), and a slight lag when running normally.
